TERRA CITY BOOK (Opening Edition)

Are You Up To The Challenge?

In his remarkable book titled Terra City, Dan Bostan throws down the proverbial gauntlet and challenges all of us to participate in what promises to be - should we choose to accept - simultaneously the most difficult and rewarding endeavor – the Terra City Project.

With a style that is uniquely personal, passionate and honest, Dan Bostan’s Terra City begins by pushing us to look ourselves, our lives and the world and to examine what is working and more importantly, what isn’t. From the outset, Dan Bostan grapples with a question that has surely plagued all of us at some time or another – After thousands of years of evolution, how far have we really come as individuals, as a society and indeed, as a global village?

There is no question that the world is an exciting place: Great technical achievements, medical advancements, and fundamental changes taking place at an ever-increasing rate, often leave us with the dizzying feeling that anything is possible. And yet, somewhere deep down, each one of us is often with the nagging sense that despite the many advancements, something is still missing, something is still wrong. That the same violent political situations continue to fester decade after decade, that millions of people in underdeveloped countries continue to starve to death every year, that drugs and alcohol are more popular than ever as a means to escape reality, is proof that changes in our quality of life have not kept pace with many of the other changes.

Dan Bostan’s sometimes personal, sometimes objective but always warm and friendly tone, makes examining these and many other issues, easier and less daunting. He develops a model that we can use to identify, analyze and eventually, begin to look for some solutions. Naturally, this process begins in our own lives but by beginning to help ourselves, we discover the tools and means to help others and their journey towards a better, more rewarding life.

With its focus on synergy and the idea that the whole can have a tremendously greater potential than the sum of its parts, Terra City represents the ultimate heights that we can achieve – together.

Terra City is a project, a proposal, a concept and indeed, a challenge like no other. The book you have now is but the opening edition. Dan Bostan and Human Wisdom invite all readers to participate in writing the next edition and eventually, to help realize the Terra City dream.

Terra City demands much from you. While easy to read and even easier to understand, you will be faced with one difficulty in the end: You will be asked to imagine. You will be asked to “think outside the box”. You will be asked to believe that through the power of synergistic cooperation, it is possible to generate humanistic advancements every bit as powerful and fantastic as the technological and medical advancements already achieved.

Are you up to the challenge? We invite you to read and more importantly, to think about Terra City. Once you have finished Terra City, you will hopefully understand the full nature of the challenge being presented to you.
